Answer:

if this surface has a higher index than in the medium where the light travels, the reflected wave has a phase change of 180º

Explanation:

When a ray of light falls on a surface if this surface has a higher index than in the medium where the light travels, the reflected wave has a phase change of 180º this can be explained by Newton's third law, the light when arriving pushes the atoms of the medium that is more dense, and these atoms respond with a force of equal magnitude, but in the opposite direction.

When the fractional index is lower than that of the medium where the reflacted beam travels, notice a change in phase.

Also, when light penetrates the medium, it modifies its wavelength

λ = λ₀ / n

We take these two aspects into account, the condition for contributory interference is

d sin θ = (m + 1/2) λ

for destructive interference we have

d sin θ = m λ

in general this phenomenon is observed at 90º

2 d = (m +1/2) λ° / n

2nd = (m + ½) λ₀

Melvin is traveling south on I-95 at 29 m/s (65 mph) when a deer jumps into his path, 50 m ahead. a. If his reaction time is 0.1

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. 5.22 meters

b. 2.9 seconds

c. No, Melvin does not hit the deer

Explanation:

The parameters with which Melvin is travelling are as follows;

The speed of Melvin's motion, u = 29 m/s

The distance from Melvin at which the deer jumps into the path = 50 m

a. Distance, d = Velocity, u × Time, t

The time it takes Melvin to react = 0.18 seconds

The distance, "d₁" Melvin travels before his foot hits the break = The velocity with which Melvin was traveling, "u" × The time duration it takes Melvin to hit the brakes, "t₁"

∴ d₁ = 29 m/s × 0.18 s = 5.22 m

The distance, Melvin travels before his foot hits the break = d₁ = 5.22 m

b. Melvin's acceleration after his foot hits the brakes, a = -10 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

The time it takes "t₂" it takes for him to come to a complete stop given as follows;

y = u + a × t₂

Where;

v = The final velocity after Melvin comes to a complete stop = 0 m/s

By substituting the known values, we have;

0 = 29 m/s + (-10 m/s²) × t₂ = 29 m/s - 10 m/s² × t₂

∴ 29 m/s = 10 m/s² × t₂

t₂ = (29 m/s)/(10 m/s²) = 2.9 s

The time it takes it takes for him to come to a complete stop = t₂ = 2.9 s

c. The distance, "d₂", Melvin reaches while accelerating (decelerating) at -10 m/s² to come to a complete stop is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·d₂

Therefore, we have;

0² = (29 m/s)² + 2 × (-10 m/s) × d₂ = (29 m/s)² - 2 × 10 m/s × d₂

∴ (29 m/s)² = 2 × 10 m/s × d₂

d₂ = ((29 m/s)²)/(2 × 10 m/s²) = (841 m²/s²)/(20 m/s²) = 42.05 m

The distance, Melvin reaches while accelerating (decelerating) at -10 m/s² to come to a complete stop = d₂ = 42.05 m

Given that d₂ = 42.05 m < 50 m (The distance separating Melvin's initial location and the deer, Melvin does not hit the deer.

A baseball is thrown by the center fielder (from shoulder level) to home plate where it is caught (on the fly at eye level) by t

marishachu [46]

At the highest point of the trajectory the vertical component will have its zero velocity, and the descent caused by the force of gravity will begin.

Since the ball is thrown with a certain speed, the vertical component reaches its highest point (upwards), until returning to the receiver who will receive the ball with the same vertical component but in the opposite direction (downwards).

Therefore the vertical component will have its highest value at launch.

1. An object 20 cm away from a lens produces a focused image on a film 15 cm away, what is the focal length

morpeh [17]

8.6 cm

Explanation:

Step 1:

In this we have to find the focal length of converging lens.

To find focal length we have,

$(1/u) + (1/v) = (1/f)$

where u = Object distance

v= Image distance

f = Focal length

Step 2:

$(1/f) = (1/20) + (1/15)$

(1/f) = 0.116

f = 1/0.116

f = 8.6 cm
